La Cupola di San Gaudenzio di Novara

Per il Sunday Post di Jake che questa settimana è sull’architettura, sono andato a rispolverare vecchi scatti della salita sulla Cupola di San Gaudenzio, simbolo di Novara, costruita da Alessandro Antonelli.

Essa è forse ancor oggi il più alto edificio al mondo interamente in mattoni.

For Jake Sunday Post that this week is about the architecture, I went to dust off old shots of the climb up to the  San Gaudenzio Dome, symbol of Novara, constructed by Alessandro Antonelli.
It is perhaps still the tallest building in the world made entirely of brick.
